“…Although this is ideal, clinical VT in the majority of patients is either noninducible or hemodynamically unstable, and multiple VTs are often induced, rendering conventional mapping techniques ineffective. To a certain extent, substrate mapping combined with pace mapping techniques during sinus rhythm have overcome these limitations [36] , [37] .…”

“…Surgically or percutaneously implanted mechanical circulatory support devices can provide hemodynamic support to allow for more detailed activation and entrainment mapping in patients with unstable VTs. The most common devices being used for mapping unstable ES include the percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) (TandemHeart, Cardiac Assist, Inc., Pittsburg, PA, USA), the Impella microcirculatory axial blood flow pump (Abiomed, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), the cardiopulmonary support (CPS) with bypass pump, and the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] .…”

“…Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is also helpful in supporting the respiratory system in addition to providing circulatory support. The major complications related to these devices are aortic valve avulsion, vascular injury, hematoma/pseudoaneurysm/retroperitoneal bleeding after device removal, and stroke/systemic embolism [36] .…”

BackgroundThe incidence of electrical storm (ES) has been increasing with the rise of the indicated uses of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). It is estimated that 20% of patients will evolve to have this complication. Ablative therapy stands out as the treatment for this condition when it is refractory to antiarrhythmic treatment. The objective was to define the current role of catheter ablation in the treatment of electrical storm.MethodsAn integrative literature review was performed using the PubMed and BVS databases. All identified articles were screened and verified for eligibility by the authors.ResultsTwenty-five out of the initial 951 articles were used in the final analysis. The categories listed for analysis included indication for ablation in ES, modality of the approach, therapeutic success, complications related to the procedure, mortality and cardiovascular follow-up and alternative therapeutic modalities by frequency of these categories in the articles researched.ConclusionCatheter ablation is the initial therapy for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and ES. The endocardial approach presents more relevant success rates than the other therapeutic methods presented.
